Introduction to CVD TaC Coating:
CVD TaC Coating is a technology that uses chemical vapor deposition to deposit tantalum carbide (TaC) coating on the surface of a substrate. Tantalum carbide is a high-performance ceramic material with excellent mechanical and chemical properties. The CVD process generates a uniform TaC film on the surface of the substrate through gas reaction.
Main features:
Excellent hardness and wear resistance: Tantalum carbide has extremely high hardness, and CVD TaC Coating can significantly improve the wear resistance of the substrate. This makes the coating ideal for applications in high-wear environments, such as cutting tools and molds.
High Temperature Stability: TaC coatings protect critical furnace and reactor components at temperatures up to 2200°C, demonstrating good stability. It maintains chemical and mechanical stability under extreme temperature conditions, making it suitable for high-temperature processing and applications in high-temperature environments.
Excellent chemical stability: Tantalum carbide has strong corrosion resistance to most acids and alkalis, and CVD TaC Coating can effectively prevent damage to the substrate in corrosive environments.
High melting point: Tantalum carbide has a high melting point (approximately 3880°C), allowing CVD TaC Coating to be used in extreme high temperature conditions without melting or degrading.
Excellent thermal conductivity: TaC coating has high thermal conductivity, which helps to effectively dissipate heat in high-temperature processes and prevent local overheating.
Potential applications:
• Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide epitaxial CVD reactor components including wafer carriers, satellite dishes, showerheads, ceilings, and susceptors
• Silicon carbide, gallium nitride and aluminum nitride (AlN) crystal growth components including crucibles, seed holders, guide rings and filters
